vApplication filed January 24, 1806. Serial No. 29?;621.

To all whom 'it may concern: I Be it known that I. Cnannns F. Cox, a

' citizen of the United States,4 and a ,resident of Bridgeton, Cumberland county,4 New Jersey, have invented certain Improvements in Carbureters, of which the following is e specification.

.My invention relates to apparatus em' ployed in the generation of carbureted ai! nom gasolene, and consists of certain iniprovcments in structures of thischaracter .designed to operate in a rapid and efiicient manner.

My invention is fully shown in the accompanying drawings, in which: f

Figure 1, is e cross-sectionel view of a. carburetor mede in accordance with my invention; Figs. 2.and 3, are sectional plan views on the lines :if-a and 'b-b, Fi 1, respectively, and Fig. 4, 4is a sections view illustrating details of m' invention.

In the drawings ierewith, 1 represents a cylindrical casing) or tank containin a series of pans 2 suite ly supported an apart. A pipe for the inlet of gasolene is shown at 3,and the gasolene in entering strikes the upper' Each pan is provided with a central over-4 tiow pipe 4,'and when the gasolene reaches the top of such pipe it asses to the next pan I and so on until it reac ies the desired height in the bottom ofthe tank, a fact which may be determined by the use of a gage glnSS,-' when inlet of the gasolene should be cut olf.

.The gaseousvapor is produced by' blowing air through the gasplene contained in the tank and in the several pans sup rted thenein, anda ipe 5 is provided for t e n' let of air un er pressure from a suitable source of supply. This pipe leads to a circular discharge pipe 6 disposed in the lower 'part of the tank 1', and provided with apertures "(Iin its upper side forthe passage of the nir under pressure through the gasolene. It will be understood that this air pipe will be open during the introduction of the gasolene in order'hat the latter may rise wit-hin each of the cone-shaped defiectors 8 and thus pass into the overflow pipes 4 so as to suc l cessively flow to the several pans ,when it is supplied at the top of the carbureter. The

' air under` pressure evaporates' the -g-asolenel and serves also to carry the va or'up through the overflow'pipes f1 and the odies of gaso- Ienel in the several ans,- such vapor passing successively under t ie cone-shaped deflectors spaced `use5 if desired.- After the pan 2 and fills the same..`

or covers 8 for each overflow. pipe and being enriched from the gasolene in euch pan. UponA leaving the uppermost pan, the vapor or carbureted' air enters the collector 9 mounted above the casing, through the in`y lets 10, being further enriched by contact with the gasolene, in said upper pun, :mit

from the collector 9 the carbureted air muy be delivered by a pipe' or pipes 9 rit-'either o1' both ends of the same, Under ordinary circumstances the passing of air, under 'pres sure through'the gasolene, evaporates the gasolene so ra idly that the 'temperuture is 'materially re uced, frequently to such an extent as to prevent free liberation ofthe carburetedair. To overcome this conditions I provide' each pan with a steam coil 11 Vconnected at one end to a pipe 12 leading from the lsourceot supply and at the o posite end to a pipe l'lea'dingto a suits le exhaust outlet: ,The pipes 12 and 13 areprovided with suitable ve ves 14 and 15, respectively,

opposite each 'connection from the coils 11,-

so that any one of the coils' may be out out of eueration of carbureted hir has commence the flow of vapor can be'continued as long`as there is gasolene present endV the heataud air pressure ismaintaiued.

The aus are provided with an annular band ci) metal 16 riveted tothe outside to stiien thesaxne, and a fluid tight joint is referably made between the shellvgind pau by calking `the s ace between the pens and the inner wall o said shell with asbestosor other suitable material as shown at 1T. By

this means ythe carbureted air generated within the tank must ass through the overtiow pipes Vtothe b iesof gasolene in the pans and thence successively through thev overtlowA pipes and pans to the collector at the t l Eac pan is pipe 18 communicating with a .vertical pipe 19 common to'lall of saiddrainagepipes, which latter pipe is provided with a series rovided with ai drainaigeof valves 20 so thet any one or all of Ithepans may be drained at will. I also provide the lower portion ofthe cerbureter with a gage 21 so that the quantity of gasolene therein can be aocuratelykdetermined preparatory to closing thegasolene inlet.l

The pans are sup orted in nested form by legs 22. and the de ectors.l covers or cones 8 'carried' by the several pans are secured by' arms 23- to the overflow `pipes and have their lower edges placed as close to the bottom of each pan as may be desired. Each pan is provided -with handles 9A whereby they may b e iiadi-ly lifted out of the shell when desire My improved ,carbureter is very compact, simple in construction and lmode of operation, and of such character that ar large amount of carbureted air may be generated from an apparatus of comparatively small swg claim: v 1. `51`he combination, in a carbureter, of a casing,A a series of separate and removable containers mounted therein, means for introducing gasolene into the casing for passage to the several containers, centrally disposed' overflow-pipes for passing the gasolene successively 'from onev container to another, means carried by each overflow pipe for sealing the inlet to each container by the body of gasolene within the same, means for forcing-air successively through said bodies of gasolene, means for heating each body of gasolene, and fluid-tight joints interposed between the walls of said containers and4 the wall `of the casing whereby the vapor generated -rnust pass through the several bodies' of gasolene'and be enriched thereby. f

2. The combination, in a carbureter, of' the casing, ,a series of separate and removable pans mounted therein and in communication with `each 'other within the casing, overflow pipes carried by said pans, meansv for introducing gasolene into the casing for passage to the upper pan, said overflow pipes providing for 'its passage to the other pans successively, cone-shaped covers for said overflow pipes, means for forcing air through the bodies of gasolene, the overflow' pipes being sealed by contact of the coneshapecl covers -with't-he gasolene in the pans so that the carbureted air in passing through said pipes is deflected and cause to pass through the body of gasolene in each pan whereby it will become enriched,l means for independently heating the 'body ofgasolene v in each pan, and a storage receptacle at theA top of the casingor the vapor.

3. The combination, in a carbureter, of the casing a series of separate and removable pans mounted thereinand-in communi- 'cation with each other within the casing, .overflow lpes carried by said pans, ,means for intro ucing gasolene into the casing for passage to the upper pan, said overflow pipes providing for its passage to the other pans successively, cone-shaped covers'for said overflow'pipes, a perforated pipe'con nected with'a'sourcebf air supply mounted in thelower part ofthe Casin whereby' air discharged therefromwithin t e'casin will be forced through the several layers 0% gasolcne, the overflow pipes being sealed-by contact of the cone-sha ed covers withthe bodies of gasolene in tile pans so that the carbureted air in passing through said ipes is deilected and caused to pass throng the body of gasolene in each pan whereby 1t will become enriched, means for independently heating the body of gasolene in each pan',` land a storage receptacle at the' top ofthe casing for 4. 'In -a carbureter, casing, a series o removable ers having centrally dispose overflow pipes, sealing'covers carried by said pi and ex'- tending lbelow the ltops of said overflow pipes, means whereby said pans"A or contain ers may :.be properly supported'wvth-respect to other pansior containers of 'smilarvsize Iand design, outer wall of'gsajd p interposed betwtftn wall ofthe casing, means for supplying gasthe vapor generated.

ans or containin or container, packing oIene to s aidcasing forpass'a e tothe containers,fmeans forj heating gasolene `yithin said containers', means. for forcing air throughsaild.' bodies of gasolene, drainage pipes 'connected ,to each of said pans. or containers, a main common to all of the combination of a I an annular band secured to the t e bodies *of said drainage pipes, .and valvedconnections for said main whereby any one of said pans or containers may be drained independently of the rest.

In testimony whereof, I have signed `my name to this specification, in thepresence-o; two subscribing witnesses. i CHARLES' F. COX.
